SPPA-E3000 Power Upgrade Package
comprises modification of electrical
components and systems in the context
of a turbine power upgrade.
The Task
The efficiency of power plants is constantly
being improved to make them more competitive. One approach to doing this is to
increase the power output delivered by the
turbines. However, the electrical components
also have to be able to transfer that higher
output into the grid.
Your Benefits
■ Reliable transmission of
more power to achieve
higher returns
■ Maximum availability
thanks to use of highquality components with
a long service life
■ Maximum certainty for
planning and schedules
thanks to smooth project
handling
Our Solution
"Power Upgrade Package" is a turnkey solution
for matching the electrical components to the
higher turbine output. It includes an analysis of
all systems serving to transfer the electric power
to the grid and then adapting them, if
necessary:
■ generator
■ generator leads & star-point cubicle
■ generator circuit breaker
■ unit protection (generator and transformer
protection)
■ transformer voltage regulation
■ instrumentation & metering
■ excitation system
■ unit transformer
■ auxiliary power transformer
■ neutral grounding for transformers
■ high-voltage switchgear with power system
protection
Our services comprise:
■ analysis of the components already installed
■ design and configuration (basic and detailed
engineering) of replacement components
tailored to the power plant
■ selection of high-quality products
■ procurement of quality-assured products from
a multitude of suppliers
■ time-optimized installation/commissioning
■ complete documentation
■ best-in-class project management (VGB
Quality Award)
The SPPA-E3000 Power Upgrade Package can
also be connected to Siemens or other manufacturers' instrumentation and control systems.
Our long years of experience and expertise as
a power plant manufacturer makes sure you get
a harmonized solution, perfectly tailored to your
generator upgrade, that affords maximum functionality and reliability in service. It includes all
interfaces and is distinguished thanks to low
engineering effort, dependability in planning
and scheduling and reliable fulfillment of all
technical requirements.
The "Power Upgrade
Package" solution
ensures maximum
availability of power
transmission after a
turbine power
upgrade.
